Story
Princess was taken in after being found at my apartment complex. She is a very friendly cat who has a great temper. She's been to the vet and is not chipped. Super friendly but girlfriend is highly allergic so she's got to go to another loving home. Vet estimates she's about 1 yr. old.

Story
Bubba is a very sweet little Russian Blue colored kitty boy who was rescued the same time as his buddy Exxon. He will purr when petted and you can hold him but he is shy. Bubba loves to take naps and curl up in his kitty bed. Bubba and Exxon would be awesome addition to an adult family who can appreciate how these sweet little guys can come to trust, play, and love their new humans. These babies have never been around children. They are neutered and up-to-date on their shots. Email kittys4u@yahoo.com or angelstotheanimals.org to meet these adorable kitties or request an application. Adoption fee is $125 for one but there is a deep discount if adopting both together. Must be 22 to apply.

Story
Lil Baby is the last born of 3 male kittens. 14 weeks old. Mom is a tortie. Dad is an old black stray tomcat. My son's father got him Poppy (mama), and he hates cats. She got pregnant before I had a chance to get her fixed. He is threatening to leave the door opened or dump them somewhere if I don't get rid of them. My son and I are devastated. We hope Lil Baby and Thickums can be adopted together. Lil Baby has so much personality. He loves his boxes and bags and any source of heat he's right in front. He loves to chase his tail. And he has the craziest little yell if he doesn't like something. Chin scratches are his favorite. He loves to sleep on your chest, close to your neck. He likes to be combed down his back. He's developed a real interest in trying to get outside lately. He hangs out in the window hammock but soon as the front door opens, he bolts for it! I am afraid he'll get out and my son's father would do nothing to stop him.

Story
Thickums is the first born of 3 males. His mom is a tortie. Dad is an old black stray tomcat. My son's father got the tortie for him as a gift, but he hates cats. She got pregnant before I could get her fixed. Thickums is 14 weeks old. My son's father has threatened to leave the door open so they get out or to dump the kittens some where if I can't find a home. It's breaking my heart and my son's. Thickums likes to sleep under the blankets. He has the squeekiest little meow. I hope he can be adopted with his brother Lil Baby. All I want is someone to love them as much as I do and take care of them. They deserve long, beautiful lives. The name Thickums is bc he is a little butterball and when he was first born he had no neck at all! Just straight head and shoulders. He is fascinated with the window and strings. He is a cuddlebug. He loves laps and naps. He's super affectionate.

Buzz and Woody are a brother pair. They get along well with my dog but have consistently bullied my other cat. They are very sweet but need a home without another cat. House trained and up to date. Indoor only.

Story
I got Louie as a kitten, and later took in his brother as well. Louie’s birthday February 14, 2021. He is playful and loves to cuddle. He’s been around young children & is very patient with them. He doesn’t mind my Yorkie, but my Yorkie hates the cats. It was my hope that my dog wouls warm up to the cats- that never happened. I’m constantly trying to keep them apart just because my 12-year-old dog gets really stressed whenever the cats nearby. They are fully indoor cats, although Louie likes to sit in the window or go out on my apartment balcony. He isn’t picky about food or cat litter. He is fully litter box trained. I’d love for Louie and his brother Theo to be rehomed together but I think they would do great either way. Trying to keep my two cats and my dog separate all the time is beginning to be too much for me to handle. This along with my 12 hour workday, just doesn’t seem fair to my cats. Please give them a good home.
